Daredevil: Born Again – A Gritty Return to Hell's Kitchen
The critically acclaimed Netflix series Daredevil, which captivated audiences in the mid-2010s, unexpectedly ended in 2018. While Charlie Cox's Daredevil made cameo appearances in She-Hulk and Spider-Man: No Way Home, a solo series revival seemed unlikely. Yet, the Man Without Fear is back, and he's bringing the grit to Disney+. This article details where to stream Daredevil: Born Again and provides a complete episode release schedule.

Daredevil: Born Again streams exclusively on Disney+. While the original Daredevil series premiered on Netflix in 2015, the new series finds its home on the Disney-owned platform. Disney+ subscriptions start at $9.99 (a free trial is not currently offered), and are also available as part of a bundled package with Hulu and Max.
Episode Release Schedule and Titles
Daredevil: Born Again premiered on March 4, 2025, with a double-episode release. Subsequent episodes will air weekly on Tuesdays, culminating in a nine-episode first season. A second double-episode release is planned mid-season. Episode lengths vary, ranging from approximately 39 minutes to over an hour.

Plot and Inspiration
Daredevil: Born Again serves as a sequel to the 2015 series, carrying over most characters and plot threads. While inspired by Frank Miller's Born Again comic arc, the show isn't a direct adaptation. Marvel's official synopsis describes a clash between Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox), a lawyer with heightened senses, and Wilson Fisk (Vincent D'Onofrio), a former mob boss pursuing political ambitions.
Season 2 and The Defenders
Initially planned as a 19-episode season, Daredevil: Born Again is now split into two nine-episode seasons. The second season's release date is yet to be announced. The possibility of a Defenders reunion is being explored by Marvel, given Daredevil's past involvement with the team.
